#like this whole arc was written FOR Minthara and everyone else as a matter of necessity

[alicelufenia]

Literally everyone else: *phew* that was quite the unpleasant experience, but I'm no worse for wear 8D Thank you kindly! Cordial character-appropriate snark!

Minthara: My only fear in this life was falling into her clutches again and then I DID and I thought this time I would not survive her. She hurt me in ways I may NEVER recover. And the worst part is I can't even dismiss her as a unknowable monster because deep down I'm JUST LIKE HER and still would be if not for being shown this one random act of mercy by you.
